About This Access Site
This take-out site on Clear Creek in Shasta County provides river access for boaters finishing whitewater runs on this significant northern California waterway. Clear Creek is a large river system with a substantial 3193-foot elevation drop over its 93.73-mile length, creating dynamic whitewater conditions. The average gradient of 34.1 feet per mile combined with an average flow of 187.55 cubic feet per second indicates this is a moderately steep, active river suitable for experienced paddlers.
As a designated take-out location, this site serves as an exit point for kayakers, canoeists, and rafters completing sections of Clear Creek. The creek's high gradient and velocity make it primarily suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers who understand swift current dynamics. Water conditions vary seasonally with snowmelt and rainfall patterns typical of the Sierra Nevada watershed system.
Boaters using this take-out should be prepared for swift current conditions and plan their take-out approach accordingly. The site's functionality as a take-out means it may have limited amenities compared to full-service access points. Always check current water conditions and flow rates before planning your trip, as Clear Creek's conditions can change significantly with seasonal variations.
